It features a 1\/4 inch diameter, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree high helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer, gummy materials. The two-flute configuration provides a good balance of chip clearance and edge strength for both roughing and finishing passes. The bright, uncoated surface finish suits applications where coating reactivity with aluminum is a concern. This tool belongs to SECO's AB245 series and is built to tight tolerances for consistent performance in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and other non-ferrous or soft materials in both production and job-shop environments. Its single-end, short-length design is appropriate for applications requiring rigidity and minimal overhang, such as 3D contouring, slotting, and pocket milling in shallow-to-moderate depth operations. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand spiral flute orientation are standard for conventional CNC setups. The 1\/4 inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and end mill holders of matching bore size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree high helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation in aluminum and soft materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute design balances chip clearance with cutting edge strength for roughing and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish prevents built-up edge when cutting aluminum and other reactive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTight TIR maximum of 0.0005 inches ensures consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with 1\/4 inch collets or end mill holders. Primary workpiece material classification is aluminum and non-ferrous (ISO material code N).

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, particularly for tight-tolerance finishing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches (3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5000 inches (2-1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 \/ -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: AB245\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17003632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558292160818,"sku":"17003632","price":65.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9fd9c40c42f107c6de51baaad473be80.jpg?v=1786408751","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17003632-ball-end-mill-1-4-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
